About this Cook
I'm an administrative assistant in a neurologist's office. Married for 34 years and have a 25 yo daughter who is back at home. We have lived in Florida for nearly 30 years. My husband works for a national wholesale foodservice company so it is fun to have him in the kitchen with me.
My favorite things to cook
I'm pretty adventurous...can't say that I have one favorite thing. Nothing like comfort food....a good roast or meatloaf. Not heavily into BBQ or Chinese!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My father was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, so I try to keep those Scandinavian traditions alive. Red cabbage, frikadilla, pork roast. Danish cookies (kleiner)
My cooking triumphs
Our annual Christmas party for about 40 people when we cook all the food (appetizers, salads, meat, cookies, desserts) ourselves. Not to mention favors, drinks etc.
My cooking tragedies
hmmm.....they must be WAaaaY back in my memory bank.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
Oops I just realized we used a whole pkg of ranch drsg mix...but it was great! Very spicy (I used Ken's wing sauce) but we slathered our buns with bleu cheese dressing which helped cancel out some of the heat. A great Saturday supper!

Sweet, Sticky and Spicy Chicken
This was good but not great. I would add some cornstarch to the liquid so that it would be thicker and stay on the chicken. Also, I would not season the chicken with salt and pepper because the sauce has enough salt (and I am a salt lover!) Will probably try again with these changes; waiting for the sauce to thicken on its own causes the meat to dry out.

Szechwan Shrimp
Not quite spicy enough but good. I added a little sweet thai sauce to tweak it up. Was happy to find a recipe calling for cooked shrimp.
